Well done Owen.

Just one thing: I see the gauges are still in. Might be worth covering them before any welding or grinding sparks burn into the glass

.

Good luck with the dash ends and parcel shelf: both particular favourites of mine

Must be so satisfying when you see that red oxide smooth panel

Coming on great, keep up the good work and thanks for keeping us posted love all the pics. Just wish i COULD GET OFF MY FAT ASSSS and get on with my car!

But there again with Spiderman at your side you could probably tackle anything!

getting stuck in I can see from the photo's of the steering rack it's that top rubber I am on about.. I doubt you will get a good one s/h they are all shite!!!

just one of those items you have to dig deep on.. plus you can replace it easy now.. just imagin it inthe car to replace later!!!!!!
